Cat license renewal taking place in Somerville

All Somerville cat owners must get a new or renewed cat license during the month of June. Licenses can be obtained in-person at Somerville Borough Hall, 25 West End Avenue, or through the mail. A pet license application can be found at somervillenj.org (click on “Departments” tab, click on “Clerk/Administrator” and scroll to the bottom of the page).

The license fee is $11 for neutered cats or $14 for non-neutered cats. A new license will only be issued with proof of rabies vaccination and neuter (if applicable). Renewal of an existing license will require proof of new rabies vaccination if the current rabies vaccination will expire before March 31, 2014.

If you pay by check or money order, please make payable to “Borough of Somerville.”
You can pay on-line by going to the Somerville website’s home page (somervillenj.org) and click the On-Line Cat License Renewals link. The link will be available starting June 1. Your license and tag will be mailed to your home.

If you renew a cat license after June 30 the late fees are $3 in July and an additional $1 for each month thereafter. There will be NO free rabies vaccination clinic in Somerville this June.
